A range of internationally acclaimed architects have unveiled six different proposals for a new government district in the norwegian capital of oslo. the design groups, which include snøhetta, MVRDV and BIG, were selected from 24 original entries and will determine potential solutions regarding urban policies and public engagement. the project will be developed alongside organizers statsbygg, the norwegian government’s key adviser in construction and property affairs.

The proposed tower from danish firm BIG proposes a topographic urban park to create a new setting for the site’s existing historic buildings. the scheme includes three towers, the tallest of which climbs to a total height of 105 meters.
